KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 (Bernama) — MEDEF International, the Embassy of Malaysia in Paris in collaboration with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) organised a webinar to update the French business stakeholders with Malaysia’s progress in mitigating the economic impact of COVID-19 to Malaysian industries. The webinar was held at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) Tower, Kuala Lumpur on 4 September 2020.
YB Datuk Lim Ban Hong, Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry (MITI) in his welcoming remarks highlighted “As a trading nation, Malaysia sees great value in engaging with our trading partners through bilateral and regional Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). Malaysia currently has signed 14 FTAs and this places Malaysia as an attractive hub for your ASEAN operations. Last year, France was Malaysia’s 18th largest global trading partner and 3rd largest trading partner among the European Union member states (including the United Kingdom). Seeing the enthusiastic turn out of this webinar, I am glad that French companies continue to have confidence in Malaysia as their preferred investment destination in this region”.
